Castle Mountain Resort (56.1 km)

For something just in the middle we have Castle Mountain just 40 minutes away. Castle Mountain Resort isn’t run by accountants working for some mega-corporation. It’s owned and operated by skiers who are driven by adrenaline, not profit. We believe in dry powder snow. We believe in challenging terrain. And we believe that the right combination of these elements will provide experiences of a lifetime for those who, like us, live to ski. Closer to Heaven, Down to Earth...That's Castle.
